Notice of Participation in the Ceramics Product Exhibition - "1st High-Performance Ceramics Exhibition [Nagoya]" from February 18 (Wednesday) to February 20 (Friday), 2026.

Pilot, a comprehensive writing instrument manufacturer, can produce fine holes and multi-porous through-holes with an outer diameter of φ0.2 to φ8, an inner diameter of φ0.005 and a length of approximately 120mm.

Our company specializes in the manufacturing of ceramics with fine through-holes, utilizing the extrusion molding technology developed through the production of mechanical pencil leads. We focus on fine shapes and high precision, capable of producing outer and inner diameter tolerances with a dimensional accuracy of ±5%. If you require the characteristics of ceramics, such as wear resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, insulation, and chemical stability in production equipment, tools, or product design, and are considering fine or micro-hole shapes or long materials, please feel free to consult us.

• Ceramics

Microporous ceramics: Capable of producing pores with a minimum diameter of φ0.02mm. New possibilities opened up by pilot microporous ceramics.

For pores with a diameter of less than 1mm, it is generally considered difficult to create deep holes of 10mm or more using drilling or laser processing. Our company can manufacture deep holes of over 100mm with an inner diameter of φ0.02mm using high-precision extrusion molding. The inner diameter dimension tolerance is ±5%, and due to the extrusion molding process, the variation within the same lot is small. We can also create through holes with combinations of different shapes and hole diameters, allowing for structures with freely adjustable wall thicknesses from thin to thick. The materials used are high-purity alumina, zirconia, and aluminum nitride. 【Features】 ■ Capable of producing holes from φ0.02mm to a length of 100mm using our unique technology ■ Can produce deep holes with freely adjustable wall thicknesses from thin to thick *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Ceramics

Microporous ceramics: Production of minimum pore diameter Φ0.02mm is possible.

In general, for drilling and laser processing, it is considered difficult to create deep holes with an aspect ratio (depth/inner diameter) of 10 or more for holes with a diameter of less than 1mm. Our company is capable of producing items with an aspect ratio of over 200 using advanced extrusion molding. Additionally, we can manufacture with a free wall thickness, and for "thin-walled pipe shapes," which are prone to deformation and uneven wall thickness, we can produce with a wall thickness of 0.1mm and a length of 100mm (when the outer diameter is Φ1.3mm). The materials used are alumina, zirconia, and aluminum nitride. 【Features】 ■ Capable of producing holes from Φ0.02mm to a length of 100mm using our unique technology ■ Can manufacture deep holes with any wall thickness, from thin to thick ■ Contributes to stable flow rates and pressure loss reduction in fluid control components with stable inner diameter dimensions *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Ceramics

High-precision processing with ±1μm accuracy supports a variety of parts and materials such as discharge guides and positioning pins.

In recent years, there has been a trend towards miniaturization of products, leading to a demand for precision processing of small components. Do you have any concerns regarding this? Our company, "Secondary Process Products," performs secondary processing on high-density, high-strength, and high-purity fan ceramics with sub-micron precision machining. We also accommodate high-precision surface finishing and the assembly of sleeves and parts with special hole diameters. 【Features】 - Capable of producing small diameters of less than 1mm with an aspect ratio of over 200. - Fine and high aspect ratio holes that penetrate in the extrusion direction. - Can be manufactured with a freely adjustable wall thickness, from thin to thick. *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Processing Contract

For controlling the flow rate of gases and liquids. Achieving stable flow and reduced pressure loss.

The pilot's "porous ceramics" can create numerous through-holes for extrusion molding. It is possible to mold thin ceramics with a minimum outer diameter of φ0.3 mm, fine-pore ceramics with a minimum pore diameter of φ0.02 mm, and through porous ceramics with over 100,000 holes. These are used in fields such as analysis, automotive, and semiconductors. 【Features】 ■ Even for pores with a diameter of less than 1 mm, it is possible to produce items with an aspect ratio of over 200. ■ High aspect ratio holes are penetrated in the extrusion direction. ■ Since the holes are straight and pass through a dense body, stable flow rates can be achieved. *For more details, please refer to the product catalog available for PDF download. Feel free to contact us with any inquiries.

• Ceramics

It is possible to manufacture small-diameter rods and fine-pore pipe shapes.

Generally, there are many flat or sheet-like products, but are there any parts that require rod or pipe shapes? Our "Aluminum Nitride" utilizes the extrusion molding technology of mechanical pencil leads and can be produced in aspect ratios of 200 or more. "Aluminum Nitride" possesses an extremely high thermal conductivity among ceramics and is an excellent material for electrical insulation and thermal radiation. The available sizes can be manufactured in an outer diameter of φ0.5 to φ6.0, an inner diameter of φ0.02 to φ4.0, and a length of 100mm. [Features] ■ For parts requiring heat dissipation ■ Superior thermal conductivity compared to alumina and zirconia ■ Capable of forming small-diameter pipes with fine pores *For more details, please refer to the materials. Feel free to contact us as well.
